Spices - The Flavors That Shape Our World
2026-05-09 10:15 - 11:15 (America/Los_Angeles) | Carmel Valley Branch Library, 65 W. Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel Valley, CA, 93924, United States
Join us for our last Saturday Speaker Series before we go on summer break!
You’ve likely seen Chef Analuisa Béjar’s articles in Edible, or joined one of her unbelievably popular talks at our library in the past. This time, Analuisa will be taking us on a journey about spices and their impact on flavors throughout the world.
After this event, be sure to stay for a party at the library! We’ll unveil our brand new, enormous, outdoor mural on the patio, along with treats from Mirth Kitchen, face painting, a raffle, book sales, and lots of library joy!

Mural Reveal Party

We’re so excited to reveal our new mural after years of dreaming and planning!
This “labor of love” was brought to life by the talented Carmel High School Art Department. Measuring a massive 8 x 20 feet, this stunning work will live on our outdoor patio. We’ll be marking the occasion with an outdoor garden party featuring plenty of refreshments, treats, a book sale, and even face painting!
Come celebrate with us and the talented artists who brought this to life!
